Will Blue Cross Blue Shield Cover my breast reduction surgery?

June 23, 2014
Asked By:unknowndcp in New York, NY

I am 5'4'' and I am 170 pounds (overweight for my height). I always had big boobs but they are getting bigger and I am getting back pain. I am also a little hunchback and my shoulders and back posture can not be straight. I am a 38 DD or maybe even a DDD. The surgeon that will do the surgery if approved just submitted a letter from me primary doctor of her telling them of my pain and breast problems and the surgeon will also ask the insurance. They also took pictures too.
